This is a real quick post for a fabulous winter cake………… Hot Chocolate Bundt Cake!
It was #cake monday…….only on a Tuesday cause of MLK Day. I was fresh out of ideas for my cake contribution, until I came across recipes on Pinterest for Hot Chocolate Bundt Cake.
There are quite a few recipes for this cake, but the one from Cookie and Cups is perfect. I used the recipe without any changes. So thank you Cookies and Cups!
Usually for #cakemonday I try to make a bundt cake. They just seem easier all the way around. They are easy to make, easy to bake, and easy to take……..I know, I know I’m a poet……lol
This cake is dense, chocolatey and really does taste like hot chocolate. The marshmallows are the perfect decoration and taste.
